My ears tell me to respectfully disagree with dover about magnetically suspended platters. My Clearaudio Performance DC Wood tt has a magnetic suspension for the platter, and I feel that it imparts a remarkably quite effortless sounding accurate reading of the information in the grooves.
Pros and Cons of Platter Mass
I am curious about the pros and cons of high and low mass platters in terms of physics and sonics. Like, why a designer would choose one over the other, and why any of you would have a preference. Although I do not anticipate any freak arguments about which is best in this relatively benign topic, let's try to keep this normal, ok? Thanks
